The third season begins several months after the group escaped the 
farm: Lori is in the final days of her pregnancy, and they stumble upon 
an overrun prison which they begin converting into their new home. While
 searching the place for supplies, Hershel is bitten by a walker and 
Rick is forced to amputate his leg. They soon meet a new group of 
survivors, who are prison inmates. In exchange for food, Rick's group 
clears out a different cellblock for the inmates (most of whom end up 
killed) to reside away from Rick's group. A walker breakout then splits 
up the group. T-Dog is bitten in the struggle and sacrifices himself to 
save Carol. Lori goes into labor and insists that Maggie perform an 
emergency Caesarean section
 to save the baby. The operation kills Lori, and Carl is forced to shoot
 her to prevent reanimation. After several days of mourning, Carl and 
Rick name the baby Judith.
Meanwhile, Michonne and Andrea are taken to the town of Woodbury, a safe haven from the walkers. They meet the Governor, the town's leader, and learn that Merle Dixon
 - Daryl's older brother - has taken refuge there as well. Michonne is 
immediately suspicious of the Governor and the settlement and decides to
 leave, but Andrea refuses to go with her. Merle is ordered to hunt down
 Michonne, but only manages to wound her; he subsequently captures 
Maggie and Glenn while they are out scavenging. Michonne, who witnessed 
their abduction, eventually arrives at the prison, then guides Rick, 
Daryl, and Oscar (one of the inmates) back to Woodbury on a rescue 
mission. The team saves the couple, but Oscar is killed and Daryl is 
captured. Michonne stays briefly and attempts to slay the Governor, only
 to kill his undead daughter Penny (whom the Governor had kept chained 
in a back room of his apartment) and stab him in the eye with a piece of
 broken glass during a scuffle. In the aftermath, the Governor calls an 
assembly and publicly accuses Merle of treason, reuniting him with Daryl
 in front of the angry mob. Rick and Maggie come back and rescue them, 
but after regrouping outside of town Daryl decides to leave with Merle.
